Got home this evening to have mike tell me that bindeez are being recalled... for those with older girls like mine i thought i'd post the link.
http://www.tv3.co.nz/News/NationalNews/Bindeezbeadsnotmagicbuttoxic/tabid/423/articleID/38672/Default.aspx?ArticleID=38672 - Bindeez recall article Apparently some idiot over in hong kong where they are manufactured substituted one chemical for another when making them which means if a child swallows one it turns into the illegal drug "fantasy" and can cause coma and death. It makes me sick to think Paris has been playing with these for months and sicker still to think if Ayja had picked one up one of the times Paris has dropped them how bad it could have been as she still likes to put things in her mouth. OMFG!!!!  Is nothing safe these days, stupid blimmin people over there adding chemicals to our kids clothes and drugs to our kids toys!!!!!
The hardest thing is.. Paris adores them she spends ages making neat creations for people and even made Mike a bindeez stockcar for father's day - now they are all going to be thrown out - she is devastated but i cannot take the risk that anything that bad could be left around. Here's a pic of her cute stockcar she made daddy without a pattern to follow - she was so proud of it. 
Anyway - if you have some of these they reckon hold on to them as you can get a refund.... - I personally will not be keeping any of the beads they are going out with the wheely bin tomorrow. GET RID OF THEM ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja
